Charging cables for electric cars

Cables with Type 2 at both ends connect the car to the socket of a wall charger or public charging point. Single-phase cables carry 3.5 kW at 16 A or 7 kW at 32 A, three-phase ones 11 or 22 kW. A 16 A cable limits charging even at a more powerful charger, while a 32 A cable also works at a less powerful one.

For cars with a Type 1 inlet there are Type 1 to Type 2 cables for 3.5 or 7 kW. GB/T to Type 2 cables connect a car and a charger with different standards. Coiled Type 2 cables retract by themselves after use and take up less space in the boot.

Type 2 extension cables come in lengths of 5 to 20 m, and the Type 1 extension is 2 m long. Charging standards for electric cars advise against extending cables, so only use them in line with the car and charger manufacturers’ instructions. Never use a damaged cable or connector, and protect the connectors from moisture and dirt.
